This is why you want the bye week
you get to be fresh, rested, while a tired wild card team comes to your house. Niners had time to get three defensive studs back, a LB, DL and DB. Meanwhile we lose DB’s, our stud Receiver cuts his ankle to the bone, and our Dline and Oline is just too tired for a second half run. Next year its all about getting a bye week
I'm not sure a bye would have helped game planning wise. Zims record coming off a bye is 2-4.

The offense didn't sustain any drives and the defense was on the field way too long. If I remember correctly, the offense only had the ball for like 13 minutes near the end of the third quarter and only had managed five first downs mid-fourth quarter. I think it was the last two drives were they narrowly missed joining two other teams as only having seven first downs in a game.

The old loser fogies on Vikes need replacing and probably the coaching has worn out its welcome as well.I've never been a fan of Kevin Stefanski. Good luck, Cleveland. The guy is a flash in the pan. We need somebody much better if we'll ever be able to stand a chance.
The deep shot touchdown... that was a fade route run on 3rd and 2! When you need a 1st down that's a double edged sword - if you beat the one one one you look genius even though the defense probably gave you that and rolled the dice on 1. it being drawn up 2. the WR winning off the line 3. the QB pulling the trigger 4. the WR catches it. If you don't convert once that ball is put up in the air, you only needed 2 yards... what are you doing, right?
Id eat whatever crow was served if we would have constantly been identifying these types of coverage advantages and at least threatened to press them. Instead, we didn't even try over the top again until we were in another 4th and 1 situation (in garbage time).
Can fade or fly routes only be called and thrown in short yardage situations? I feel like that's some KAO big brain shit.

Oh man, the KAO! I have no idea what was going on in Stef's constipated cranium yesterday. None.
Starting to look the 1st round bye might to be so important after all.. you watching the Chiefs vs Texans game?
EDIT: Texans appear to being having a complete meltdown. Not sure it is because they played last week though.
